How-to remain in control of Live Events scheduling

See previous post, in the production of a Stream Live Events are 3 different roles involved:

• Organizer
• Producer
• Presenter

The organizer is the person that can schedule / create new Live Events, and becomes the owner of them. Although there is no limitation stated on the amount of Live Events running in parallel, it makes perfect sense to govern this. You don't want to risk that the webcast experience of the CEO Townhall is hampered because too many other Live Events are running within same or overlapping timeslot. In order to avoid wildspread of Live Events, Stream supports via admin settings that the authorization to create Live Events is restricted to specific identified persons only / not for everyone in your organization.

The person creating / scheduling a Live Event, automatically also becomes the owner. However, in the differentiation of the webcast roles; the organizer should not need to be involved in any of the production aspects on the actual moment of the event. To achieve that, the person that will act as the producer of a specific event, must also be made the owner of the scheduled Live Event. As owner, the producer can pick up the scheduled Live Event, set it in edit mode, and then start and stop the event from the Stream webapplication.

Organizer creates / schedules (on request of Producer) a new Live Event

Organizer assigns / shares ownership of the scheduled Live Event to the Producer

On scheduled datetime of webcast, the Producer looks up the scheduled Live Event in Stream web application

On scheduled date of webcast, the Producer starts Setup of the Live Event

On scheduled date of webcast, the Producer is in-control to start the actual broadcasting once the production encoder sends the stream input signal
